Selected Answer: B
https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/data-sharing-reader-create The reader account is created, owned, and managed by the provider account, which assumes all responsibility for credit charges incurred by users in the reader account. Similar to standard consumer accounts, the provider account uses shares to share databases with reader accounts; however, a reader account can only consume data from the provider account that created it. Warehouses in a reader account can consume an unlimited number of credits each month, which will be charged to your provider account. To limit usage, set up a resource monitor for the warehouse.

The question is if the reader account does not incur additional charges to the data provider, which is false. Based from this statement "The reader account is created, owned, and managed by the provider account, which assumes all responsibility for credit charges incurred by users in the reader account." the provider account is responsible for any charges incurred by user in reader account, thus, there can be charges (which can be done by a user in a reader account) and the amount will be incurred on the one who created the reader account / the data provider

Reader accounts enable providers to share data with consumers who are not currently Snowflake customers, and without requiring they become Snowflake customers. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/ui-snowsight-private-sharing-reader-accounts.html

Should be A, right ? The data provider is going to be charged for storage consumption, and the consumer account will only get billed for the compute resource used to query shared data.

"A" is correct https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/data-sharing-reader-create.html The reader account is created, owned, and managed by the provider account, which assumes all responsibility for credit charges incurred by users in the reader account.

So "B" is correct, because the provider account is expected "to assume all responsibility for credit charges incurrent by users of the reader account". The fact that this sentence is there shows that additional charges are a possibility for the provider.
